Hierarchy structure in MS Project

Posted: 18 Aug 2005 05:12 AM PDT

schemr --

In the Enterprise Global file, create a new custom enterprise Project
outline code called Sales Manager. Make this a required field and list all
of our sales managers in the outline code structure. Save and close the
Enterprise Global and then exit and relaunch Microsoft Project Professional.
Ask each PM to open all of his/her projects and click Project - Project
Information, select the Sales Manager for each project, and then save and
publish each project using Collaborate - Publish - Project Plan. Add the
new Sales Manager field to each Project Center view in PWA. You might also
want to create a custom Project Center view called Sales Manager that has
grouping applied by default on this outline code. You might also want to
create a custom Portfolio Analyzer view that summarizes project data by the
Sales Manager outline code.

After you and the PM's complete the above series of steps, anyone who can
view the Project Center page will be able to apply grouping or sorting on
the Sales Manager outline code. Hope this helps.

multiple baseline compare

Posted: 18 Aug 2005 01:33 AM PDT

Hi,

1. To compare two dates (for instance two baselinestartx)
Tools, Customize, Fields, select a number field
Activate Formula
[Baselinestartx]-[Baselinestarty] returns a value in days
projdatediff( [],[], Calendar name) returns a value in minutes
When you select a duration field projdatediff will be expressed in the
normal duration units

2. To show nonstandard bars in the Gantt Chart (such as haveing a hape to
indicate Baselinestart7 or a bar between baselinestart5 and Start)
see
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm

Printing reports with a date range

Posted: 17 Aug 2005 11:24 AM PDT

LadyBean01,
You are correct that Date Range filters out the tasks.
To get the timephased info you are looking for, try temporarily
changing your project start date to June 1. >Project, >Project

Hope this helps!

You could set the status date to equal the date the work will resume for
this project and then hit the 'Reschedule' button on the Tracking Toolbar.
This will move the unfinished portions of all tasks so that they start
after the new status date.

Managing Time Worked

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 01:16 PM PDT

I know it happens a lot and can't quite figure out why. If clients like
yours don't want to take advantage of the greatly enhanced business controls
detailed project management that using tools like Project server can
provide, why buy it at all? It seems rather like buying a Ferrari racing
car and never driving it over 25km/hr. Sure one can do it, but why in the
world would you WANT to, what's the point of spending the money and never
fully exploiting what you've paid for?

how do i display week numbers in project?

In article <com>,
Rompie <microsoft.com> wrote:
 

Rompie,
I have probably heard of ISO week numbers but have never used them. I
also do not use Outlook. Because one MS application (or even several of
them) can do a particular thing doesn't mean all MS applications can do
it. A good example is that in Excel individual Worksheet cells can be
formatted. We get many posts in the Project newsgroup asking how that
can be done in Project, particularly in either of the Usage views.
Unfortunately individual field cell formatting is not an option in
Project.

The only formatting available for the timescale in Project is that
available in the selection lists for Units and labels found in the
Timescale edit window. That window can be accessed by either double
clicking on the timescale or by going to Format/Timescale.

Hope this helps.

Rookie question

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 12:04 PM PDT

Project works with Tasks and Resources.
When a resource is working on a task it is called an assignment.
Assignments consist of an amount of work that the resource is going to do on
that specific task.
The work on a task consists of the sum of work in all assignments.
When the resource assignment is removed, then that work is removed.
Work represents the number of resource hours/days/weeks/minutes that is
being expended.
Further Project uses the equation Work = Duration * Units to determine what
work is.
Units refers to the number of resource units.
Altering one of the values in the equation will affect at least one of the
other values.
You can see that an increase in work will require a proportional increase in
duration or Units.

Custom Milestone not working

DBD,
You're welcome. I think the approach of treating the meeting itself as a

much better in the long run.

Remaining hours extending project

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 10:56 AM PDT

Think about it for a minute - the duration HAS to change. Joe was assigned
100% to a task that would take 5 days. He worked 3 days and then estimates
that there are still 4 days of work to do, the original 5 day estimate was
off. You really only have 2 choices. He either works 8 hours a day for 4
days to do the required work, extending the curation to a total of 7 days in
the process, or he somehow magically gets the 4 days of remaining work
accomplished in the 2 days of time left in the the original duration,
generating 16 hours of work during each 8 hour workday thus working at 200%
allocation. But that's actually not possible - 100% means the resource is
already working as fast as they can possibly work and the only way you
really can exceeed that is to get someone else to work along with him to
carry part of the load. There really aren't any other physical ways that
scene could play out.

Views with Gantt Chart Wizard.

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 09:23 AM PDT


Hi Dave,

You could create a new private project. Create your views there and then
transfer them via the Organizer to the working projects. Then, if one gets
changed significantly, you can recover it from your private project.

Did you make the dependency from the start of the milestone to the start of
the task or the other way around?
The first should work. The second will give the result you describe.
